Got one of those quiet calls again, probably just another scam trying its luck. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Drop a couple of comments under this post explaining what this scam involves and how everyone can contribute to putting an end to these robbery attempts. These scammers succeed only because a small number of people fall for their tricks, which funds their big tax-free earnings. Most people here in the UK have no real idea how widespread this problem is, mainly because very few incidents get reported. Official government statistics make it look like it's not a serious issue. This website, however, receives way more scam alerts and visits than what’s officially put through to the police or OfCom’s scam reporting. Flooding these formal reporting channels could really make a difference in shutting these scams down.

They called me sayin they wanted to discuss some housing problem I reported, but I never made any report. Then they just ended the call on me!

They didn't leave a voicemail, seems like it could be one of those dodgy advertising calls.

This definitely wasnt a Sky number, the call said it was from Vodafone. Typical Indian call centre stuff, and they’re now doing this mobile number spoofing thing.

Got no message and it showed up as possible spam, so I just didn’t pick up. Ended up blocking the number straight away.

Got a call from 01235633390 but didn't pick up and they left no voicemail. Feels like it could be a scam, so I’ve already marked it as suspicious.

Got a message saying "we'll call back soon" but no clue who it was from. Just went ahead and blocked the number.

They rang me at 7:31am but couldn’t get through Apple’s screening, so I’ve blocked the number now.

I just let it go to voicemail and didn’t pick up. Pretty sure it was some kind of scam call.

I keep getting calls that just ring and then cut off as soon as I pick up. Pretty sure it’s just another spam thing.

Got a call from this number saying they were from Lloyds Bank, told me my card was being used fraudulently or something. 0161 565 4530

I got a message on WhatsApp from someone saying they were from the FCA, which sounded fishy to me. Not completely certain it’s a scam, but I’m really suspicious about it.

Got a message saying my Apple account was locked and included a link to reset the password. Totally a scam, as it wasn’t actually suspended. Just deleted it straight away.

Got a call from a number I didn’t know, so I just let it ring out. Since they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail, I checked this site and looks like it was just another dodgy scammer.

Got a voicemail from a young lady offering some part-time work thing. Seemed pretty dodgy to me, like one of those scams.

Someone from Ayrshire Housing got in touch with me, and it was legit - not one of those dodgy calls.

I got a message that was just a single question mark, like literally "?". Might be nothing, but nowadays I’m guessing they’re just checking if my number is live so they can hit me up with spam calls later.

I was busy working so I didn't pick up the call. With all the scams going about these days, it’s really tough to tell if a call is genuine or just some dodgy scammer.

Got a message from this number claiming to be Apple, saying my account's been locked because of a payment problem. Felt pretty suspicious to me.

Got a text from a number pretending to be Apple, saying my account was frozen or something. Total scam, best to steer well clear of it!

The call showed up as possible telemarketer, so I blocked it right away. It went to voicemail but there wasnt any message left.

I keep getting these really nasty messages from a scammer who’s just trying to bother me.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but when I let it go to voicemail, there was nothing there. So, I’ve just blocked the number now.

As soon as it switched over to the voicemail, I just ended the call straight away.
